MCP servers
MCP server for FOMC statements and decisions
FOMC statements are short, formulaic and enormously consequential, which is exactly why the interesting analysis is comparative. Traders do not read the statement so much as read the difference between this statement and the last one — a single removed adjective is the news.
This server exposes statements as retrievable documents with a diff tool built in. An agent asks for a meeting's statement, or for the change against the prior meeting, and receives a paragraph-level comparison rather than two blocks of text it has to align itself. Release timestamps are attached, which matters because the statement, the projections and the press conference all land at different moments on the same afternoon.
Related documents — minutes released weeks later, projections published alongside some meetings — are linked from the statement rather than left for the agent to hunt down.

Questions
Why is a diff tool worth having?
Because statement language is deliberately stable, so change carries the signal. Doing the comparison server-side means an agent gets the delta directly instead of burning context aligning two nearly identical documents and occasionally hallucinating the difference.
Are the minutes and the statement linked?
Yes, and dated separately. The minutes describe the meeting that produced the statement but become public weeks afterwards, so both dates travel with the documents.
